The 2011 BMW 6 Series is the next car that is up for redesign which may launch in late 2010 as a 2011 model. The sheetmetal of the new 6 Series will, much like that of the redesigned 2009 7 series, be inspired by the 2007’s Concept CS. Although European buyers will be offered diesel versions, U.S. cars will be powered by the twin-turbo V-8 currently in the 7 Series and X6. The engine will drive the rear wheels through the new ZF eight speed automatic transmission.

The new 6-series is may make its debut at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show in September, prior to its 2010 launch. A new M6 is expected to follow in early 2011, though its V-10 could make way for a more aggressively tuned version of the twin-turbo V-8.

A lot of features led by its overall design may be in store for people familiar with the BMW 6 series. So you may call this new installment from BMW a retro and modern consolidation of sorts. The car in focus is the Racer X Design BMW RZ-M6 which captures the stylish and aggressive looks of older generation BMWs.

The current M6 already offers a high level of performance, with upgrades for even more power available worldwide. The RZ-M6 is designed to show how a 6 series should look like to reflect that pedigree.

While aggressive, it’s not over the top, keeping the lines of the current M6 structure flowing and factory like. It’s not a boy racer’s car, but more mature, more elegant, yet not to be messed with. All this was evident in the older generation BMW’s. This is a tribute to the E24 6 series.
